Natch on the narrow band, to let that quilt come through nicely. Sweet choice. Keep us updated with pics.

You can't be serious!! You should be slapped if you put a pg on that piece of wood!!!
In the interests of not being slapped, Roger and I have decided to revisit this issue.

When we decided on a pickguard over quilt, I had no idea it was going to be such a hawt quilt!

I vote pickguard. I'm generally not a burst guy, but a narrow, subtle one with a black pg really does it for me. Plus there's still plenty of outworldly quilt left to look at, and being so regular it's not like you're covering some unique part of the figure or something.

I'd still do the pickguard personally.

Tom, PLEASE don't put a pickguard on that top!, any other one,..ok. but please not on that one. That is just too special.
I wouldn't even cover it at all with a burst- Natural for me! oops, ok. It's your bass, i forgot.

We're going to wait until after spray, and then take a look at things. I have not ruled the universal route with pickguard out just yet, but I am definitely loving the look of that figuring!

All this talk of quilted maple tops definitely helped lower my (already stupid low!) GAS resistance, and I had to make an(other) impulse buy today.

That one wins. That quilt with that dye is amazing. Put a maple fretboard on that and it would be pure heaven!
+1. Sure there are some drop dead gorgeous beauties in this thread but that one is just unreal.paintandsk8 said:
